Original taken from expertmus in Corruption in the Andrei Rublev Museum: traces lead to the Ministry of Culture

« Respect for the past is the feature that distinguishes education from savagery. Wildness, meanness and ignorance do not respect the past, groveling before the present alone"(A.S. Pushkin)

UPD:

A serious scandal is flaring up again in the capital's Andrei Rublev Museum. Recently, the reputation of this unique scientific center, which belongs to the especially valuable objects of the cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia, has been caused enormous damage by illegal activities, which, under the guise of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, are carried out by the director of the Federal State Institution “Central Museum of Ancient Russian Culture and Art named after Andrei Rublev” Gennady Viktorovich Popov.

Based on the results of the inspection, a statement was made to the Minister of Culture Medinsky, but the “cart”, that is, the private restaurant “Bread House in Androniki” by Fyodor Ryndin, the son of the director of the Andrei Rublev Museum Gennady Popov, is still there, on specially protected territory of a cultural monument of federal significance within the boundaries of the territory of the united protective zone No. 221 (Decree of the Moscow Government of July 7, 1998 No. 545).

It’s not without reason that they say that God marks the rogue, and by coincidence, on the day of filming the Vesti TV channel’s sensational report throughout the country, “ Restaurant under the guise of a museum"On February 21, 2013, guests from Vetkon-Service CJSC, which, represented by veterans of law enforcement agencies, provided services, were having fun there" on issues of economic security, technical, physical and personal security, etc..”, simply put, to “protect business” :-)

Directly to the television camera, as they say “in plain sight,” the director of the Federal State Institution “Central Museum of Ancient Russian Culture and Art named after Andrei Rublev” Gennady Popov stated that “ this was made with sponsorship money , we really have nothing to do with this. The only thing is that this is our land. - This is all free of charge, no one pays you? - Yes».- see video: http://youtu.be/YJ82UgNokV4

In fact, anyone can easily expose all lying officials using the government procurement website, as Alexey Navalny has demonstrated more than once. Here are the employees of the Museum. Andrei Rublev were finally able to find official information about what else 9.08.2010 a government contract for 3 million rubles with the personal signature of the director of the Andrei Rublev Museum Gennady Popov ( see photo) under the pretext " creating an exhibition on the territory of the museum » at Moscow, Andronyevskaya sq., 10: http://www.tenderlib.ru/gos/gos?govTask=govDetails&catid=85&govId=54865

As it was established, the new restaurateurs “Popov and Son” decided to disguise their private restaurant “Bread House in Androniki” on the territory of the Museum. Andrey Rublev under the screen " exhibitions on the museum grounds", which was given the pompous name " gallery-refectory»:-)

29.08.2010 during the visit of Patriarch Kirill (Gundyaev) in an unauthorized building ( see photo) private restaurant (" gallery-refectory") there was a closed feast of Ministry of Culture officials, which was arranged ... right on the graves of the cemetery of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery, where the Russian genius Andrei Rublev found his last refuge (see photo). After the patriarch’s visit, enterprising new restaurateurs immediately dubbed their establishment “ patriarchal refectory, built by blessing His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus'»?!

Having received a plenary indulgence, new restaurateurs at the expense of the federal budget managed to legalize their tavern on bones by placing 16.11.2010 on the government procurement website, a government contract signed by Deputy G.V. Popov Igor Gromov ( on the right in the photo with a tavern) on " performance pre-design work By former Bread House Spaso-Andronikov Monastery"(sic!) cost 0.5 million rubles : http://zakupkiold.gov.ru/Tender/ViewPurchase.aspx?PurchaseId=947994

Please note that we are talking about project development on an already erected one self-built in August 2010! A 24.11.2010 a private restaurant built without permission appeared in the next tender as ... " architectural monument »?! (« monument volume 500 m3, complexity category - 4"), for which another government order was placed signed by the director of the Museum. Andrey Rublev Gennady Popov ( see photo) on " execution of work on development of project documentation on architectural monument Bread House of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery » cost 250,000 rubles : http://rf-zakupki.ru/tender/1337414.html

In total, the illegal construction and subsequent legalization of the private restaurant “Bread House in Androniki” at the cemetery cost the state budget, according to the most conservative estimates, 3.75 million rubles ! As they say, sleight of hand and no fraud. In the same report from the Vesti TV channel, Fedor Ryndin, “ restaurant manager and coincidentally the son of the museum director", as he was presented to television viewers, tried in every possible way to assure that " this is not a commercial organization at all, and the director of the Museum only asks us to involve sponsorship funds " "Good" sponsorship funds"from the budget for the price of an apartment in a new building in the capital (!), you can’t say anything :-)

23.09.2010 Mr. Fedor Ryndin, as the general director of the production agency “Grand Inter Gala”, registered the domain of his private restaurant on the Internet, where to this day there is a loud advertisement that “ for the arrival of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus' the Grand Inter Gala company built a refectory … “BREAD HOUSE” is a project of the Production Agency “Grand Inter Gala”…For organizing corporate events we provide unique place on the territory of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery - restaurant “BREAD HOUSE” »»: http://www.hlebdom.ru/contact.html

For reference: the company PRODUCER AGENCY "GRAND INTER GALA" LLC was registered on November 12, 2008 by the registrar Interdistrict Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service No. 46 in Moscow. The general director of the organization is Ryndin Fedor Gennadievich. Founders of LLC PRODUCER AGENCY "GRAND" INTER GALA" (according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities as of February 2012): VLADIMIR VLADIMIROVICH LOBODA (participation share - 7%), DMITRY BORISOVICH POVAZHNY (participation share - 51%), DMITRY DMITRIEVICH DANSHIN (participation share - 42%, in the photo in the center).

The company LLC PRODUCER AGENCY "GRAND INTER GALA" is located at the address: 127051, Moscow, pl. Malaya Sukharevskaya, 6, building 1, the main activity is “Other entertainment and entertainment activities.” The organization also carries out activities in the following non-core areas: “Activities of concert and theater halls”, “Activities of news agencies”. The organization was assigned TIN 7703679090, OGRN 5087746390969. Reg. Pension Fund number: 087107072303 (dated October 31, 2012). The net profit of Producing Agency "Grand Inter Gala" LLC for 2012 amounted to 4.00 thousand rubles. compared to 14.00 thousand rubles. a year earlier. Sales of the company Producer Agency "Grand Inter Gala" decreased by 22.65% to RUB 526.00 thousand.

18.03.2011 The production agency "Grand Inter Gala" concocted notification No. 001684 about the start of entrepreneurial activity by " provision of catering services in the cafe "Gallery-Trapeznaya" LLC "Bread House" (Moscow, Andronevskaya, pl., 10) on the territory of the Federal State Institution "Museum of Ancient Russian Art and Culture named after. Andrey Rublev"", with whom even no contract was concluded about this?! Moreover, the company LLC PRODUCER AGENCY “GRAND INTER GALA”, which, according to its general director Fedor Ryndin, “ erected "and owns the private restaurant "Bread House in Androniki", no licenses for construction or restaurant activities DOESN'T!

Just think about it, in the very center of Moscow, in a protected area of ​​a particularly valuable cultural heritage site of the peoples of the Russian Federation, a private company, without any construction licenses or any permission from regulatory authorities, arbitrarily built a private restaurant building, but how did this even become possible?! Let us remind you that in 1997 The Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, as a result of a single audit, revealed fact of misappropriation (WASTLE) of budget funds by museum director Gennady Viktorovich Popov on an especially large scale, amounting to MILLIONS OF RUBLES (ACT of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation on the results of an audit at the Central Museum of Ancient Russian Culture and Art named after Andrei Rublev of the targeted and effective use of federal budget funds allocated under the federal target program “Development and preservation of culture and art in the Russian Federation” dated March 20, 1997) . In particular, the Accounts Chamber found that “in 1995-1996. the main volume of repair and restoration work in the museum was carried out by Amber LLP and Svit LLP, not having licenses for restoration activities on historical and cultural monuments ... For the majority of contracts concluded during this period with Amber LLP and Svit LLP for repair and restoration work design and estimate documentation was developed in violation"Instructions on the composition, procedure for development, coordination and approval of scientific design documentation for the restoration of immovable historical and cultural monuments" RNiP1.02.01-94 and order of the Ministry of Culture of Russia dated May 28, 1996 No. 431 "On the procedure for reviewing and approval of urban planning and design estimate documentation for the restoration of historical and cultural monuments." Even defective statements or reports on the condition of objects were not drawn up before the start of work; therefore, it is difficult to determine the correctness of the calculation of the percentage of work volumes. When checking the acts of acceptance of work performed by Amber LLP in 1995-1996, A large number of errors were identified that led to significant increase in the cost of work ...only through a random check of the results of the implementation of these contracts, it was established that due to the lack of control on the part of the museum’s deputy director for repair and restoration, K.E. Spiridonov, the contractor Amber LLP partially overestimated the volume of work performed and the actual consumption of materials, and also incorrectly applied unit prices... When fulfilling the terms of the contract There are no commission acts for the demolition of buildings and structures. There is no permit for excavation work in the monument area ":http://www.expertmus.com/2012/03/iv.html

Having completely avoided punishment for multimillion-dollar embezzlement in the “daring” 1990s, the director of the Museum. Andrey Rublev G.V. Popov decided to attach his grown-up offspring to the budget feeding trough and again embarked on all his hard work under the “roof” of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. New restaurateurs Popov and Son built their private tavern on bones, “Bread House in Androniki,” as can be seen from the documentation, at the expense of the state budget in 2010-2011 gg., and on January 18, 2012, based on the results of an audit conducted by auditor Sergei Agaptsov, the Accounts Chamber discovered shortcomings in the expenditure of budget funds for the federal target program “Culture of Russia (2006 - 2011)” in 2009 - 2010 gg. and first half of the year 2011 G.:

In his interviews Gennady Popov advertises in every possible way the private tavern of his son Fyodor Ryndin"Bread House in Androniki" , illegally builtat the cemetery of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery, where the great Andrei Rublev is buried : « V far corner of the monastery there is now a so-called “bread house”. At first, as I understand it, there was a monastic carriage house there, then it became the garages of the GPU, then in 1960 it was turned into an exhibition building"?! It would be unnecessary to mention that “ Doctor of Art History, Professor, Honorary Member of the Russian Academy of Arts", as Gennady Popov likes to sign his slander to various authorities, he most shamelessly fools the readership of Pravmir, because there is no " monastery carriage house"or, according to his son Fyodor Ryndin, " special Bread House, where the monks baked bread» The Spaso-Andronikov Monastery never existed on the territory! It’s easy to verify this from all the monastery plans, if only you had the desire :-)

It is reasonable to wonder how the new restaurateurs father and son “Gennady Popov & Fedor Ryndin” managed to legalize their private restaurant “Bread House in Androniki”, illegally built on the territory of the world famous Museum. Andrey Rublev?! The scheme of these scammers is extremely simple: since it is impossible to obtain a legal address with a house number for a self-built building, then they can hide it behind an already existing building, and accommodating officials registered in the official documentation the private restaurant “Bread House in Androniki” (340 m³) at the address: Moscow, Andronevskaya square, 10, building 5 , by which it is known on capital maps the oldest temple in Moscow - Spassky Cathedral of the Andronikov Monastery , which anyone can easily verify ( see photo): http://flatinfo.ru/h_info3.asp?hid=192705

The same scheme is carried out by scammers led by the director of the Museum. Andrey Rublev G.V. Popov also screwed up the official plan of the Spaso-Andronikov Monastery, in the cemetery of which this organized crime group illegally built its own establishment"Bread house in Androniki." This plan ( see photo) meets all visitors to our Museum. Andrei Rublev right at the entrance, opposite the police post. It is easy to notice that the “Bread House” is indicated on the plan under the number “ 8 ", where in reality there is... a museum boiler room at: Moscow, Andronevskaya square, 10, building 13 . And the tavern “Bread House in Androniki” on the official plan of the Museum. Andrey Rublev is missing, but he is listed everywhere in advertising ( see photo) indicating the “pedestrian route” :-) As we see, blatant and cynical lies lie in wait for everyone entering the Museum. Andrei Rublev is literally under the noses of the police, and such a monstrous deception could not hide from officials from countless inspection commissions!

However, in reality, none of the authorized authorities is even trying to control the private restaurant, built without permission on the specially protected territory of the Museum of Federal Subordination in the very center of Moscow.

Only after an appeal from the Trade Union Committee of the Museum. Andrey Rublev from 13.09.2011 The Moscow City Heritage Department sent a message to the Federal State Institution "Central Museum of Ancient Russian Culture and Art named after Andrei Rublev" notification of the need to dismantle a newly erected restaurant building "with reference to the results of an inspection in February 2011 of the Tagansk prosecutor's office, which brought to the head of the Federal State Institution "Central Museum of Ancient Russian Culture and Art named after Andrei Rublev" G.V. Popov " submission to eliminate identified violations» ( see photo). And... no implementation of prosecutorial orders in 2011-2013, which again forced the museum Trade Union Committee to ring all the bells.

21.02.2013 The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation intervened in the case, publicly pointing out to the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky the unauthorized construction of a restaurant by the son of the director of the Museum. Andrey Rublev, based on the results of whose inspection a submission was made to the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation: http://youtu.be/_5Kq67WHF3I

And only after this sensational scandal, on April 24, 2013, the Moscow City Heritage Department undertook a new visit to inspect the one-story building of the “Bread House in Androniki” restaurant, which was never dismantled, and therefore the Moscow City Heritage Department appealed to May 2013(ref. No. 16-29-578-3) to the Prefecture of the Central Administrative District of Moscow about the need to raise this issue at the district commission to suppress unauthorized construction (see photo). But the thing with the tavern at the cemetery where the great Andrei Rublev is buried , did not even get off the ground; moreover, shameful red tape was arranged around it at all levels. From the very top, from the apparatus of the Government of the Russian Federation (entry dated 02/04/2014 No. A-805) and the FSB, he was lowered to the same Prefecture of the Central Administrative District of Moscow, from where 28.02.2014 g. another unsubscribe came ( see photo), as well as to the Ministry of Culture (Department of Supervision, Control and Licensing in the Sphere of Cultural Heritage), from where he was “kicked off” 06.02.2014 (ref. No. 79-12-07) to the Moscow City Heritage “according to affiliation” ...

In fact, Deputy Director of the Department of Supervision, Control and Licensing in the Field of Cultural Heritage, Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation G.I. Sytenko grossly violated the order of the Ministry of Culture No. 791 of July 23, 2012, according to which state supervision and control in the field of protection of cultural heritage sites federal significance belongs to the exclusive competence of the Department of supervision, control and licensing in the field of cultural heritage of the Ministry of Culture of Russia, and the capital department of the Moscow City Heritage for this not authorized (see photo)!

Meanwhile, officials of the Moscow City Heritage Department, led by Alexander Kibovsky, having received such an unequivocal signal “from the very top” about the “protection protection” of the private restaurant “Bread House in Androniki” in federal Museum named after Andrei Rublev, made every effort to legalize this unauthorized construction on the territory of the monument. Of course, completely free of charge :-) B June 2013 Moscow City Heritage, defying all his previous orders to dismantle the illegally built tavern with bones , appealed to the Ministry of Culture " for clarification regarding accommodation possibilities non-permanent building", to which the Ministry of Culture responded in a letter from 15.07.2013 g. informed the Moscow City Heritage of his full consent, instructing the administration of the Museum. Andrey Rublev " develop appropriate project " on the … already built V 2010 G. at the expense of government orders restaurant building?! The impudence of the Ministry of Culture bureaucrats is simply amazing, especially the desire to once again use budget money for a previously funded state order for design!

So far, deputy director of the Tretyakov Gallery Oleg Belikov, as well as the director of the St. Petersburg museum Boris Arakcheev and financial director Galina Sivkova, who have been removed from office, have been under investigation in cases of corruption in Russian museums: http://expertmus.livejournal.com/79712.html

In addition to articles 285.1 and 289 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation the corrupt director of the Federal State Institution "Central Museum of Ancient Russian Culture and Art named after Andrei Rublev" Gennady Popov also faces an article.
